Football reporter at CBS Arena Published 29 August 2026 "To say we're the worst team in Premier League history, it's not a bad start from the boys," said Ollie McBurnie, in a light-hearted jab to Hull's critics.
Liam Millar's late winner at Coventry made it two wins from two to leave the Tigers in dreamland on their Premier League return.
After the opening day victory over Manchester United it was a different, gritty, display on Saturday but winning at CBS Arena, against a perceived relegation rival, earns Hull huge momentum and belief.
"We don't feel we have anything to prove to anyone. No-one has given us the Premier League, we have all earned it," said striker McBurnie.
"We're there on merit, we deserve to be there, we don't have anything to prove to anyone. It's been a great start."
